Mohamed and his mother are reunited in Nairobi after almost 30 years apart. They take journalists Andy and Kamal with them as they retrace the life they shared here – recounting difficult memories as refugees in an unwelcoming city and sharing one of their most painful experiences: the story of their separation.

As Sir Mo slowly lifted himself out of a difficult early life, Mohamed endured years of hardship. This is the story of their lives in the 30 years since that sliding doors moment.

Sir Mo is knighted – he's a four-time Olympic champion and national treasure. After years in the public eye, he confronts his complex past with a documentary that shocks the world and earns him a BAFTA.

But in doing so, he unwittingly thrusts Mohamed into the spotlight; at the very moment his namesake's life seems to be turning around.

Mohamed's Turkish visa expires and he's deported to Mogadishu – a city he fled 35 years ago and barely remembers. Alone, penniless, and held at gunpoint within weeks, he faces spending the rest of his life in one of the world’s most violent cities, separated from the rest of his family.

Then Sir Mo makes a dramatic intervention.

In 1993, an 8-year-old Mo Farah arrived in the UK as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. It would only be revealed 30 years later, through a documentary of his own making, that the Olympic champion was brought to the UK illegally under a false identity. His real name: Hussein Abdi Kahin.

While the documentary uncovers an incredible story, it raises even more questions about the national treasure – and about the boy whose identity he was given. The other Mo Farah.

Journalists Andy Jehring and Kamal Sultan set out to discover what happened to Sir Mo's namesake. Their investigation takes them from Somali cafés in West London to the streets of Istanbul, Djibouti, Nairobi, and war-torn Mogadishu.
